NSSATA to continue stir till govt responds Dimapur, Jun 9 (NPN): Nagaland Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Teachers Association (NSSATA) appointed in 2010 and 2013 have expressed resentment with the state government’s “apathetic attitude” of trying to wash its hand off regarding appointments of SSA teachers.

In a joint statement, NSSATA Agitation committee convenor Thejangulie Kirha and secretary agitation committee Arenla Tzudir have reiterated that their fight was based on government’s credentials and not beyond democratic norms, as alleged by the government.

NSSATA reiterated that agitating SSA teachers were appointed during 2010 and 2013 as regular employees after advertisements for open recruitment.

It said the appointment orders of SSA teacher clearly mentioned that they were endowed with “scale pay with all allowances/rates prescribed by the government of Nagaland from time to time with effect from the date of joining” NSSATA said the government orders

also clearly described the appointees as “Regular State Teachers.”

Further, NSSATA also argued that as per RTI reply in October 2013, it was pointed out that post creation was not done by SSA but by the government undertaking and therefore, SSA teachers were appointed on regular basis and that their services are not co-terminus with SSA project( as stated by the government.)

The signatories therefore clarified that they were not asking for what was not theirs but what was rightfully theirs as per the appointment terms and all other benefits of regular employees by pointing to the deduction of 10% of NPS of the total emolument, GIS and professional tax regularly. Thus, the signatories said imputing NSSATA demand with irregularities of Centrally sponsored flagship programme will not solve the problem.

On demand for 7th RoP, NSSATA said this was in line with that demands of all regular state employees based on the government

Tobacco consumption in Nagaland widespread even among children Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUN 9 (NPN): In an alarming development, initiation into tobacco has been found to be very early in Nagaland. As against the average initiation age of early 20s in rest of the country, consumption of both smoke and smokeless forms of tobacco is reported to start in middle school level (from class 5 to 7) in Nagaland.

And three eminent doctors from the State’s premier hospitals– Civil Hospital, Eden Medical Centre and Christian Institute of Health Sciences & Research (CIHSR)– have sounded an alarm bell over the increasing rate of consumption of pan masalas and smoking by the students, as cases of precancerous lesions are being reported regularly.

The doctors were unanimous in their opinion that tobacco consumption must be immediately arrested and

called for spreading awareness about the ill-effects of tobacco consumption at the school level.

Oral cancer detected earlier in Nagaland: While oral cancer is generally detected at the age of 40 and above in other States, tobacco users as young as 25 years till 35 years are being diagnosed with oral cancer in Nagaland. This is the result of early initiation into tobacco consumption.

Numbers that don’t make happy reading: The most reliable and exhaustive source of study on tobacco consumption is currently available with the CIHSR at 4th Mile in Dimapur. In 2017, CIHSR, also known as Referral Hospital, conducted oral screenings in 25 schools and colleges in Dimapur, targeting mainly higher secondary and school students, in collaboration with Biocon Foundation, Bangalore and National To-

(L-R) Symptoms of Leukoplakia and Oral-Submucous-Fibrosis bacco Control Programme, (NTCP) Dimapur. The findings were worrisome. From a sample size of 3,300 high school, higher secondary and college students, it was found that: • 9.7% students smoke – while 7% smokes cigarettes, 2.7% smokes beedis • 10.9% students chew pan with or without zarda; pan without zarda is also harmful due to the presence of lime and betel nut • 26.2% students consume pan masala and other tobacco-related products

Today, Nagaland also has the dubious distinction of being the highest consumer of pan masala in the country. As informed by district oral health officer Dr C Tetseo, Nagaland also holds the dubious record for the State with highest monthly expenditure on cigarettes.

The bigger but not better picture: According to Tetseo, oral screening was also conducted by CIHSR’s community medicine department in collaboration with Biocon Foundation among youth 15 years and above in

more than 10 villages in and around Dimapur, including Diphupar, Doyapur and Dhansiripar, recently and it was found that out of a decent sample size of 400 tobacco users, 170 were found with lesions in their mouth.

Though precancerous lesions do not constitute cancer, it is a definitive pointer to the possibility of progression to oral cancer.

Dentist Dr Ankit Jain from Eden Medical Centre said 10 to 15 new cases of pre-malignant lesions or precancerous diseases in

youngsters are reported from his chamber every month. He said the numbers vary every month. But when it comes to all age groups, there are around four oral cancer cases diagnosed every month, he adds.

District oral health officer said there a minimum of two new cases of precancerous diseases among youngsters reported every week at Civil Hospital, Dimapur.

He said patients also get treated at numerous private hospitals and clinics and therefore it was difficult to ascertain exactly how many youth in Dimapur report oral cancer or precancerous oral diseases.

Two common warning signs not to be ignored: According to the dentist, the most common precancerous diseases due to tobacco consumption are Oral SubMucous Fibrosis (OSMF) and Leukoplakia. These conditions do not fall under

cancer, but are potential and clear warning signs that prolonged intake could lead to progression into cancer.

Oral Sub-Mucous Fibrosis: OSMF is a chronic precancerous disease that results in progressive juxta epithelial fibrosis of the oral soft tissues, mainly occurring in the Indian subcontinent.

It is a chronic insidious, disabling disease involving oral mucosa, oropharynx, and rarely the larynx.

The symptoms are: the onset is insidious, burning sensation, blanching oral mucosa, fibrous band restricting mouth opening, dry mouth, inability to whistle or blow, difficulty in swallowing.

Leukoplakia: Leukoplakia is a white thickened patch on the mucous membranes of the cheeks, gums and tongue. The patches sometime form fissures and often become malignant.

Violence-hit Shillong limps back to normalcy

Shillong, Jun 9 (PTI): A week after clashes broke out between local Khasi people and Sikh community members, life in Shillong is gradually returning to normalcy with no fresh violence reported from anywhere in the city prompting authorities to relax the daytime curfew.

The capital of Meghalaya was gripped by violence since May 29 following an altercation between Sikh residents in the city’s Punjabi Lane area, and Khasi drivers of state-run buses. More than 10 people, including policemen and CRPF personnel, were injured in the clashes.

As in past two days, curfew was relaxed for nine hours in the 14 “vulnerable areas” from 7 am to 4 pm today. Authorities will decide on further relaxation of curfew, Deputy Commissioner, East Khasi Hills, P S Dkhar said.

In other parts of the city, prohibitory orders have been lifted from 5 am and would be restored at 8 pm, he said.

Mobile phone messaging service has been reinstated but access to mobile internet remains suspended, the official said.

Rynjah himself sustained injuries when he was hit by a rod from behind while trying to help an injured protester.

He said some protesters were detained for curfew violation but were later released without any case registered against them.

According to the police, the protesters had come from far-flung areas of different districts like South West Khasi Hills, West Khasi Hills and Ri-Bhoi to take part in the protest.

Dkhar said rioters will

be booked under various sections of the Meghalaya Maintenance of Public Order Act and Meghalaya Police Act for destruction of public and private properties.

The authorities have also directed the states Public Works Department to assess the loss caused in the riot and protests.

As rumour mongering, fanned by social media, led to the protests, the authorities have ordered a magisterial inquiry to probe the incident and identify those who incited the violence.

The report will be submitted within two weeks, Dkhar said.

IMPHAL, Jun 9: Son of a cabinet minister in Manipur has been arrested by police after the car he was driving hit and injured two police commando personnel on duty Friday afternoon.

Twenty-three-year-old Thaonaojam Satyajit @ Robert, son of state forest minister Th Shyamkumar Singh was arrested late Friday night after his car hit and injured two police commandos at MG Avenue Junction under City police station, around 2.30 pm of the same day. He has been arrested on charges of assaulting to deter public servant from discharge of his duty under section 353 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) read with 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way and 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) The minister’s son was today produced in the court of Imphal West district magistrate where he was remanded three days to police custody.

On Friday, police com-

can be seen at tourist hot spots like cathedrals and museums.

Meghalaya Director General of Police S B Singh said the forces will be stationed in the city for some more time and their deployment will be reviewed based on the situation.

“As many as 40 rioters have been arrested for their involvement in stonepelting incidents which led to the injury of over 100 police personnel during the five days of violent protests,” SP (City) Steve Rynjah told PTI. He said cases have been registered against them, many of who were under the influence of al-

mando personnel on duty signaled to stop a black colour Honda City brand car (MNO1G - 0523 with fully tinted windows) driving at high speed at the crowded street at MG Avenue.

The driver, instead of obeying the signal, sped up further and rammed the commando personnel leaving two of them with injuries on their legs. They were rushed to RIMS hospitals with fractures on their legs. The police team chased after the car which was intercepted at the entrance gate of an official quarter of a minister where the vehicle stopped.

The police personnel immediately surrounded the vehicle and asked the driver to come down from the vehicle which the minister’s son denied and remained seated in the car.

As such the commando personnel pulled out the driver from inside the car and the driver of the Honda City car turned out to be none other than the son of the Minister, the source added. He was pulled up by the police personnel and

taken to the station of the City police commando unit where he was detained for around an hour before sending back to the minister’s quarter again. Later, a team of City police rushed to the minister’s quarter. However, they backed out without any arrest while no reasons were cited. The arrest of minister’s son came to light only today after the police produced him (minister’s son) in the court of Imphal West district magistrate.

Sources in the police said that he was arrested by the City police yesterday night, around 10.30 pm after lodging an FIR under section 353/279/338 IPC of City police station.

Interestingly, the arrest and production of minister’s son came up after almost all the dailies published in Imphal reported that the state police had failed to take up any kind of action or even file an FIR against the son of the cabinet minister even as the rash driving and injuring two commando personnel took place in broad daylight, that too in a crowded city street.

Measles outbreak claims one in Mnp’s hill district

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jun 9: Health services in Manipur have pulled up its sleeves as outbreak of measles was confirmed once again in two villages in Manipur’s Churachandpur district.

The outbreak of the disease, which is the second time in Manipur after it had claimed the lives of two children in the interior Tamenglong district, has claimed a four-year-old girl, officials said.

Following the official declaration of measles outbreak, District Family Welfare Office (DFWO), Churachandpur has swung into action to contain further spread of the disease.

According to official report, a four-year-old girl died of suspected measles on June 5 last at K Sinai village, a village located only four km away from Churachandpur district headquarters.

Measles outbreak was also reported at Monglenphai village under Samulamlan block of the district where District Family Welfare Office, Churachandpur

Prominent theatre personality Rabha passes away

Dr Jam Thianlalhas issued “outbreak notification” on June 6.

Meanwhile, additional director of state family welfare and state observer of MR (measles and rubella) campaign Dr Th Somorendra Singh have rushed to the villages on Friday to collect report of the outbreak on the instruction of state immunization officer (SIO).

The official visited the two villages today and said that the outbreak was due to ‘vaccine resistance’ by the villagers.

Mention may be made that owing to a fake propaganda on social media, parents and guardians of various section of the society had stayed away from vaccinating their wards during the mass MR vac-

cination campaign.

DFWO, Churachandpur has sent measles outbreak report in the district to the state director of health and family welfare on Friday besides holding awareness campaign at vulnerable locations since Thursday.

At the same time, a team comprising of staff from district surveillance o f f i c e o f D F WO a n d ASHAs at Monglenphai village have collected blood samples and throat swabs of the victims which were sent for laboratory examinations.

“The outbreak is due mainly to vaccine resistance by the villagers,” said Dr Jam Thianlal.

He added, “The victims (of these two villages) are found to be families

who stayed away from MR vaccines in the two rounds of outreach sessions and one round of school session in the village.”

Dr Thianlal cautioned that the outbreak can continue since there were some villages that resisted MR vaccination and awareness campaign which was launched in the district since March this year.

He urged all concerned to vaccinate their children aged between nine months to 18 years against Measles Rubella at the district immunization office or any nearest PHCs which can be done every day.

“If all children were vaccinated, the disease would be prevented and the case may be eliminated in the entire state within two years,” the DWFO said.

Rahul Gandhi meets disgruntled K’taka MLAs; tension increases

New Delhi, Jun 9 (PTI/Agencies): Congress President Rahul Gandhi today met disgruntled Karnataka MLAs led by M B Patil in the national capital but the talks remained inconclusive.

After the meeting, Patil said the next plan of action will be decided after discussions with he 15-20 MLAs, who are unhappy with the Cabinet expansion. He, however, asserted that he has no plans to quit the Congress.

Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) working president Dinesh Gundu Rao as also state leader and new cabinet minister Krishna Byre Gowda were present in the meeting.

“We are trying to resolve the differences. The process is on at the mo-

ment. No decision has been taken yet,” Gowda told PTI after the meeting.

The consultations are still going on with state leaders, he added.

Patil, who campaigned for a minority status for the Lingayats, is a prominent state Con-

gress leader. Under his leadership a section of dissatisfied legislators have held several meetings last week.

After meeting the Congress President, Patil said: “I shared my views with Rahul Gandhi and explained the state’s situation. I have not demanded

anything.”

He said, “I am not alone, many friends are together with me. I will share with them what happened in the meeting and then decide next plan of action.”

Patil, a former irrigation minister and an MLA from Vijayapura district, said he has no plans to quit the party.

“The BJP has not approached me nor I have got in touch with the saffron party. My fight is within Congress,” he said.

He also mentioned that he was not in the race for the KPCC President post and did not make that demand in the meeting.

The JDS-Congress cabinet was expanded on June 6 with the induction of 25 new ministers, after intense bargaining for ministerial berths.

Kejriwal alleges 10 pc drop in punctuality rate of trains raid at DJB offices; NEW DELHI, Jun 9 (AGENCIES): Days after being reprimanded by railway minister Piyush Goyal over the declining punctuality of trains, the Northern Railways (NR) on Saturday clarified that despite large-scale works underway in the zone, there was only a 10 per cent drop in the timelines of trains as compared to last year.

At a press conference, Vishwesh Chaube, General Manager (GM), NR, said as of June 8, 2017, the punctuality rate in the zone was 63 per cent, adding that on June 8, 2018, it had declined to 53 per cent. “The punctuality of trains is now being recorded through data-loggers whereas, earlier it was done manually. Now, even if a train is late by a minute, it is counted as a train arriving late. This has made a difference in the punctuality figures of this year. Also, despite a lot of work going on, there is only a 10 per cent drop in the punctuality rate,” he said.

Chaube added that

while the number of trains in the zone had increased from 1,300 in 2008 to 1,800 in 2018, the infrastructure had not grown at the same pace.

“So, capacity building is essential. The yards do not have the capacity to handle so many trains,” he said.

The Northern Railways had taken measures to ensure punctuality of trains, including monitoring of the delayed trains at every station by the station directors, Chaube added. A reduction in engineer restrictions, ensuring that the loco pilots ran at the maximum permissible speeds and an

intensive exercise to reduce the speed restrictions had also helped curb the delays, he said, adding that in April, the punctuality rate of trains in the zone was 49 per cent, it grew to 50 per cent in May and in June, it was 53 per cent. The NR data also showed the zone had taken 141 mega blocks (six-seven hours each) for maintenance work in 2017-2018 and 25 till May this year. It had also completed 152 km of track-doubling and 545 km of track renewal in 20172018.

On May 30, Goyal had warned the heads of the zonal railways that delays in train services would defer their appraisal proportionately and given them a month (till June 30) to improve the punctuality of trains. Sources present at the meeting said Chaube had to face Goyal’s wrath with the NR zone recording an abysmal 49.59-per cent punctuality performance till May 29, a 32.74-per cent dip compared to the same period last year.

CBI denies

New Delhi, Jun 9 (IANS): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday alleged that a joint CBI-ACB team conducted searches at the offices of Delhi Jal Board (DJB) to frame him in flase cases -- a charge denied by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

“CBI and ACB started randomly picking files from DJB. No specific enquiry.

Because now I am Minister-in-Charge, their effort is somehow frame me in something,” Kejriwal said in a tweet.

“Prime Minister, LG (Lieutenant Governor) and BJP - if you have specific information, please investigate. But don’t victimize Delhi’s people by paralyzing all departments of Delhi government,” he said. Kejriwal also said that he would put out the list of all the files sought by the CBI and the ACB (Anti Corruption Branch) in public domain.

Reforms within

ince the Governor of Nagaland P.B.Acharya has been devoting attention on the need for reforms in education, it should have spurred a serious deliberations among the policy makers for finding out ways in which the goal is better understood and ways identified to achieve the goal. Education is a process of facilitating learning - knowledge, skills, values, beliefs etc. So, education determines the country’s future as it is having all the powers to change everything.

What does reform of education mean ? Perhaps the word could have a broad meaning which would depend upon the desired objectives of those pursuing reforms. Education is a process of facilitating learning - knowledge, skills, values, beliefs etc. So, education determines the country’s future as it is having all the powers to change everything. Again reform of education can also mean overhauling the curriculum or brining significant improvement in the quality of teachers.

Since the 1980s, education reform has been focused on changing the existing system from one focused on inputs to one focused on outputs. In the current system of education, on common denominator is the disinclination for change and encouraging creativity among teachers and students. The standard of education in India still relies heavily on academic excellence by excessive use of textbooks and external examinations, to the exclusion of the method of education. The entire government system in India is still shaped and managed by bureaucratic minds and therefore, any attempt to veer away from the conventional, always meets with resistance. As it is, even if there is talk of reform in education, these hardly make a dent to the current system of book-based education system and theory-oriented teaching. These suffocate innovation and free and independent thinking. Reform cannot be understood in isolation- that is has to be achieved within the institutes. Desiring reform in education only part of the need of the overall big picture. One particular statement spoken often at various seminars in India is : “India is set to become the youngest country by 2020 with 64 percent of its population in the working age group.” To sound impressive, even bureaucrats and politicians in Nagaland have modified the cliché by substituting India for Nagaland. These are overused because there is another dismal picture in Nagaland about poor number of enrolment in higher education. On introduction of skill development in the curriculum, it sounds good but that’s all about it. In the end, it is again about job opportunity and availability. Skills which cannot find jobs are not going to be popular. Those who are already in the market doing various skilled jobs are not educated. Professional courses such as medical, engineering and agriculture research are good examples of skills that are academically developed. Therefore, giving value to education through a holistic approach is achievable if teachers and instructors are themselves highly trained and are independent to encourage creative thinking. This has to be accommodated in a big way by a system that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship. Unless society and its leaders are genuinely reform-minded and totally convicted and committed, reform, not only in education but all other aspects of the polity will be a lip service.

DailyDevotion Then What’s Next To Do? Everyone who asks receives… —Luke 11:10 Ask if you have not received. There is nothing more difficult than asking. We will have yearnings and desires for certain things, and even suffer as a result of their going unfulfilled, but not until we are at the limit of desperation will we ask. It is the sense of not being spiritually real that causes us to ask. Have you ever asked out of the depths of your total insufficiency and poverty? “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God…” (James 1:5), but be sure that you do lack wisdom before you ask. You cannot bring yourself to the point of spiritual reality anytime you choose. The best thing to do, once you realize you are not spiritually real, is to ask God for the Holy Spirit, basing your request on the promise of Jesus Christ (see Luke 11:13).

The Holy Spirit is the one who makes everything that Jesus did for you real in your life.

“Everyone who asks receives….” This does not mean that you will not get if you do not ask, but it means that until you come to the point of asking, you will not receive from God (seeMatthew 5:45). To be able to receive means that you have to come into the relationship of a child of God, and then you comprehend and appreciate mentally, morally, and with spiritual understanding, that these things come from God. “If any of you lacks wisdom….” If you realize that you are lacking, it is because you have come in contact with spiritual reality— do not put the blinders of reason on again. The word ask actually means “beg.”

Some people are poor enough to be interested in their poverty, and some of us are poor enough spiritually to show our interest. Yet we will never receive if we ask with a certain result in mind, because we are asking out of our lust, not out of our poverty. A pauper does not ask out of any reason other than the completely hopeless and painful condition of his poverty. He is not ashamed to beg— blessed are the paupers in spirit (see Matthew 5:3).

2010 World Cup, when England’s Frank Lampard had a goal disallowed because the referees on the field missed the ball crossing the line? Besides tackles, collision, kicking and ridiculous fouls there were infamous moments such as the spitting incident of Frank Rijkaard and Rudi Völler at 1990 WC, the Schumacher tackle against Michelle Platini 1982 WC, Leanardo’s tackle against Tab Ramos at 1994 WC, De Jong’s Spinning back kick against Holland 2010 WC final and the Zidane headbutt against Marcos Materazzi in 2006 WC. Enough is enough, FIFA’s feckless attitude; the use of technology must be embraced into the modern age.

Soon after Blatter step down over a corruption scandal, new era Goal-line technology (GLT) and Video Assistant Referee (VAR) have come into the effect. GLT had been used for the first time during the 2014 World Cup Brazil, when France became the first team to benefit from the system.

Now VAR is in Russia this time for reviewing for four major gamechanging situations such as Goal/ no-goal decisions, Penalty/no penalty decisions, direct red cards (not second yellow cards) and mistaken identity. Hope scandals are over and will provide maximum benefit and minimum interference to improve the sport. But the final call is always on the referees.

There will be screaming around at stadium, but won’t be any criticise on wrong call anymore.

Russia WC 2018 will provide technology seamlessly to catch those defaulters. There are VAR, Crescent Comms (audio), HawkEye innovations (video), GLT. VAR has a very complex task when using video technology in a match.

The VAR team supports the referee

from a centralised Video Operation Room (VOR), located in the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) in Moscow. All relevant camera feeds from the stadiums are provided to the VOR through a fibre optic network. The referee on the field at each stadium talks to the VAR team via a sophisticated fibre-linked radio system.

The field is set now. Ahead of the world cup, Roads to Russia campaign hits enthusiasts Russian. The matches are planned in 11 cities and 12 stadiums.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has lavished praise on Russian President Putin for ability to finish construction of stadiums on time. Germany is currently the No. one FIFA Ranking followed

by Brazil, Belgium, Portugal, Argentina, Switzerland, France, Poland, Chile (recently eliminated) and Spain. There are 3 from CONCACAF North America (Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama), 5 from CONMEBOL South America (Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia, Peru), , 5 from CAF Africa (Nigeria, Egypt, Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco), 5 from AFC Asia (Iran, South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia) and 14 from Europe (Russia Rank 70 (host), Belgium, Germany, England, Spain, Poland, Iceland, Serbia, France, Portugal, Switzerland, Croatia, Sweden, Denmark). Brazil has won 5 times followed by Germany (4), Italy (4), Argentina (2), Uruguay (2), England (1), France (1) and Spain (1) since 1930.

Though India (rank 97) will not figure in the FIFA WC, the demand for tickets by Indian fans is very high. Being billion people in the world, we failed to participate among 32 qualified teams. India only managed to

qualify for 1950 WC Brazil (when Burma pull-out) but withdrew before the tournament because they were not allowed to play without footwear. However India played in Olympics in 1948, 1952, 1956 and 1960. Afterwards she did not qualify. Naga footballer from Assam Talimeren Ao was the captain of India in 1948 Olympics. India’s captain Sunil Chhetri played 101 international match scoring 62 goals that he is only behind Ronaldo (81 goals) and Messi (64 goals) in terms of International goals. He recently appealed to fans of European clubs on Twitter to support for the Blue Tigers. India has a realistic chance of qualifying for 2026 FIFA WC where 46 teams will be played with 8 slots from AFC. Qatar will be the first Arab state to host 2022 FIFA WC. Morocco’s bid to host 2026 FIFA will be known official in this world cup. Should India plan for 2030?

Major professional league NFL (American Football), NBA (Basketball), MLB (Baseball), ICC (Cricket), ATP (Tennis) etc. have already adopted technology long time back. Despite opposing by naysayers, technology in soccer is here to stay. It is never too late

by FIFA to join the 21st century, but at least they seem to be going in the right direction. Soccer is on the verge of exploding. Robot players, sensory simulation and accelerometer will change the sport.

And no one would imagine that in-game fitness wearable technology in soccer may end up being ahead of other sports. Technology may take over to monitor the heart rate and fitness data of players in real time in the future.

NSSATA 2010 & 2013 agitation should not be taken so lightly by all

N

agaland Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Teachers’ Association (NSSATA) 2010&2013 demand for their rights is justifiable. Under Education Department (DoSE) Nagaland, there are many categories of teachers including backdoor appointed teachers.

Those backdoor appointed teachers who were regularized by the government are enjoying all the benefits and also drawing salary in 7th ROP since January 2018 without any agitation by those teachers. However, the question is why the government is silent, reluctant and provides step motherly treatment to those teachers who were appointed through open recruitment examination under Directorate of School Education?

Is it not the responsibilities of the Government to provide NSSATA members their due rights at bar with the other regular teachers in the State? The teachers in turn need to nurture their students to compete with the private schools students.

Government cannot ignore and take lightly the NSSATA peaceful sit in protest at the DoSE and at Nagaland Secretariat. Many intellectual and educated people are examining and aware of this issue between the government and the NSSATA. Affected Government School students all over Nagaland need to voice out in support of NSSATA and also stand for the right of the teachers who are deprived of the rights. We also appeal the teachers to dedicate and provide quality education to all the students. As we all know, ‘If the spring is clean, the water that flows from spring will always be clean.’

Role of Dobashis in Naga Customary Law & practice

hen Britishers established their Administration over the Naga Hills, Dobashi’s and Gaonburas (G.B) were appointed to assist in their administration. At village level Gaonburas were appointed to collect the annual household tax and to carry out as Government agents for all correspondence.

Whereas, the Dobashis were appointed as an interpreter to translate the local dialect into Assamese, Hindi and vice versa. The term Dobashi is a derivation of Assamess and Hindi word “DOU-BASHA” that is , one who could speak the two languages of Assamess or Hindi and translated into local dialect. And with the passage of time Dou-Basha changed its form to “DOBASHI” and emerged a new vocabulary. Dobashis were appointed at Kohima, then the Headquarters of Naga hill district, later followed by more appointment at the others Sub-Division Office like Wokha and Mokokchung.

Initially, the dutyof Dobashis were just to interpret, but gradually their duty became more functions both civil and criminal cases and the Administration of justice.

Initially, British Officers tried the cases when any disputes brought before them and Dobashis interpreted the matter to the Officers, and decided the disputes.

The Britishers had good experiences to deal with the local people and to run the administration of justice wherever they occupied any territory. For example, Warrent Hasting Judicial Plan of 1772 in India, The English Judges had no acquaintance with native Indian language, habits, and personal laws of Hindus and Muslims.

The local customary laws of Hindus were written in Sanskrit and Muslim laws were written in Arabic. Then, they needed the assistant of the local people to run the administration of justice, so, they appointed the Pandits’ to interpret the Hindu personal laws, and Kazis to interpret the Muslim personal laws, which were is known as “Native Law Officers”.

They applied the same idea/strategy while establishing administration over the Naga Hill district. They appointed the interpreters to assist them mainly to deal

with the local affairs. In the meantime Nagas has no script nor written laws, but carry-out through verbally or orally and practices the Laws of customs, usages and tradition from forefathers. Perhaps, this could be another factor which compel the British administrators to appoint the interpreter’s within their administrative jurisdiction who were known as, ‘’DOBASHI. Later on, the Dobashi court was established for better administration of justice.

The Dobashi court was not established through any Act, but out of necessity and by convention.. For example, as per the record Dobashi court at Mokokchung was established in 1st June 1914.

Whereas, the Dobashi court of Kohima, had been established much earlier. Gradually, Dobashi service became an influential and coveted one in the Administrative Service. Nowadays, this court is established at every District Head quarters and its subordinate Administrative Head quarters.

The system of dispensation of civil and criminal justice in the Naga Hill district has been further streamlined and has empowered the Dobashi and Gaonbura by “Rule for Administration Justice and Police in Naga Hills District 1937”. Which has been amended by the State Government of Nagaland from time to time, i.e, first amendment in 1974, second amendment in 1983 and third amendment Act 1984, fourth amendment Act 1987, and received the assent of President of India on 4th March 1987 (better known as “Nagaland Act No. 1.1987).

Dobashis are salaried Government employees; it is another designated service to wear uniform, a waist coat with two colours, red in front, and black on the back with black- belt indicating a special official person. Beside a red blanket provided annually through the District Administrative authority.

However, the Goanburas in village level is not a salaried service, but as a Government agent, paid certain commission on percentage basis out of the annual household tax collection as remuneration and provided a red blanket annually by the District Administration authority. They are also allowed to wear the

same uniform worn by the Dobashis. Besides, Goanbura’s are empowered in the village administration by the “Rule for Administration Justice and Police in Naga Hills District 1937.” They are part and parcel of village council. Their service is remain as long as they are found deem fit. The village council members may come and go, but GBs may not, hence they become another Guardian of Customary Law’s and Practice in the village level.

Today, GBs are appointed even in the urban areas. Thus, G.Bs has a very important role in the administration of grass root level. Now, the Government of Nagaland provides a welfare scheme for GBs vide Notification No.GAB-1/COM/82/2004 Dated Kohima24th March 2007. The functioning of the Dobashi court is headed by a head Dobashi, however, they have a higher post of Political Assistant (PA) to Deputy Commissioner promoted from the post of Head Dobashi. Here the cases are conducted in summary trial manner. Cases are appealed from village level or can be appealed directly in this court by any aggrieved person or parties; it takes shorter period to deliver the verdict except in cases such as land disputes where the cases can be decided after verifying the spot according to the tradition, customary practices and usage.

Thus, trial of cases by the Dobashi court/customary court take’s much shorter period and cheaper in comparison with the court of Magistrate and others higher court where so many legal formalities are there then taking more longer time with higher rate of cost. The decision of this court is subjected to higher Magistrate court, if the decision given by this court is not satisfactory, the aggrieved party can appeal in the higher courts. At present, District Dobashi court is equal in status with that of the second class magistrate court.

For example, reference to Dobashi court at Mokokchung, a good remark of appreciation by Shri D. Pathak then Honourable Chief Justice of Guwahati High Court during his visit on 30-06-1982: “The DB’s Court at Mokokchung was established

on 1st June 1914. My visit to this court in the 30th June 1982 after a lapse of 68 years is quite an experience. I am very much impressed by the performance and trouble taken by DB’s court for disposal of the disputes according to the customary law prevailing among the people, having jurisdiction of this court.

I expected the disposal of cases quicker and cheaper in this court; I am satisfied after going through some of the records that the performance is quite in order.”

Similar remark of appreciation has been also there by Shri Madan Lokur, Honourable Chief Justice Guwahati High Court during his visit on 07-12-2010.

“It has been a very pleasant experience visiting Mokokchung District and the Dobashi customary court. I have learnt a lot from the officers about their customary law and its implementation and enforcement. That the court has been functioning effectively since 1914 speaks volumes of its acceptance and credibility. Such courts should be encouraged because they render justice as the parties accept the vertices.”Perhaps, if they could visit all the District Dobashi Court, they could find out more reality, the value and principle of the customary practices and usage of the Nagas.

The institution of Dobashi Court is as century old, even older than the Statehood of Nagaland. Hence, while demanding Statehood, it included on the 16th points memorandum Sl.No.7: No Act of law passed

by Parliament affecting the following provision shall have legal force in Nagaland unless especially applied to it by a majority of vote of Nagaland Legislative Assembly:(i) The religious or social practice of Nagas. (ii) Naga Customary Law and Procedures. (iii) Civil and criminal justice so far as these concern decision according to the Naga Customary Laws. (iv) The ownership and transfer of land and its resource.

The above points were incorporated under Article 371 (A) of Indian Constitution while attained the Statehood of Nagaland Therefore, Dobashi

court is the institution of the custody of Naga Customary Laws and usages. As per the customary practice no female is recruited in this service.

Besides, this service is quite peculiar in comparison with others departmental services in the state. The posting and transfer has confined only within the respective district.

The functioning of Dobashi service can be said an unique one, i.e. a three tier system.

Their duty is to assist the civil administration, sometimes performs as a Police duty, and to act as a Jury, because, they are the members of judges in the Dobashi court. So this customary court shows the symbol of a unique identity of Naga social life. .

To preserves the sanctity of customary court, firstly it depend on the efficiency and responsibilities of the members of the Dobashis, where as they need high integrity to its service. Secondly, it is important on the part of Government that recruitment should be strictly adhered to Dobashis service rule 1970, Rule 7. (1) (2) (3) and should not be interfered in by politics. Besides, facilities to be provides fully like travelling allowances, accommodation of departmental quarter, etc and the pay and allowance should be enhanced better than the existing ones by the coming 7 ROP. On the other hand, they are one of the protectors of Naga identities.

For example, in the Indian judicial service the retirement or superannuation age of Supreme Court judge is 65 years, and High Court judge

is 62 years. The idea of the higher the superannuation or retirement age the greater is that the professionalism of the senior members is highly required to dispense public justice, because the seniors have more expertise more learned and better versed. So it is also good and important to apply the same ideas and principle equally to Dobashi’s service by enhancing the superannuation age and not to be counted on the length of service. This would further signifies the important and value of the Naga traditional and the customary Law and practice.

Nagas are comprised of different tribes having distinct culture, custom, tradition and dialect, and one tribe could not understand another tribe dialect and mostly communicate through Nagamese or English. When, the administrators posted to any district whether a Naga or Non-Naga, except the officers belong to that District, he or she may not know the dialect, custom and tradition of that particular tribe or the locals of the posting place.

Under such circumstances, Dobashi’s service is very necessary to assist the administrator to deal with the local affairs as well as relating to their custom, tradition and their habit.

Thus, Dobashis play an important role in the preservation of customary Laws and Practices, and this service is in-evitable to our Naga Social Life.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Social media rumours

There has been some controversy over messages sent on social media in the recent days. While some do consider the social impact and abstain from fuelling such rumours, some may like the attention it gets. Back-tracing alarmist or defamatory social media rumours cannot be too hard for the police with their authority and resources. Maybe some of these rumours need to be traced back to the source and the responsible people given stern warnings, or if the law permits, initiate prosecution with charges that depend on the severity of the issue, to discourage using these platforms for mischief that may have serious repercussions. Even users need realize that while social media is a fun place to spend time in, you have to be very careful what and with who you share things.

NSSATA to continue Akhilesh, staff damaged Major reshuffle of police officers stir till govt responds residence before vacating

L u c k n ow, J u n 9 (IANS): For mer Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s palatial g ove r n m e n t b u n g a l ow was vandalised and many structures were razed to the ground before it was vacated on the direction of the Supreme Court, officials of the estate department said on Saturday.

With the keys of the sprawling house handed over to them on Friday, a team of ‘Rajya Sampatti Vibhaag’ went to the 4, Vikramditya Marg residence on Saturday only to see how badly the 45-year-old Samajwadi Party (SP) chief had left his house, apparently in anger of having to leave a house built under his watch at an exorbitant cost of Rs 42 crore. Officials photographed the house.

Officials told IANS that barring a marble temple in one corner, the entire house had been damaged.

Expensive floor and wall tiles, laminations, marble slabs have been damaged beyond repair and electricity switch boards and switches ripped off.

All the air-conditioning ducts in the centrally airconditioned house, which was rebuilt and renovated by the then SP government at the fag end of its tenure, have been plucked out.

The all-weather swimming pool has also been filled with sand. This pool had imported tiling which has all been broken, an official told IANS. Iron angles can be seen protruding at various places and many gates inside the house have also been dam-

aged.

Tiles of the badminton court, nets, walls have been ripped off and all the ACs, TV, furniture, fans have also been shifted out, the official said, pointing out that they will now check the inventory of the stuff sanctioned in the name of Yadav and will cross check it with what is left behind.

As soon as pictures of the damaged house came out in public domain, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and SP leaders engaged in a verbal spat. Rakesh Tripathi, spokesman of the ruling BJP, said the “mindset and the culture” of Yadav had been exposed now. “The entry of the estate department officials has exposed the opulence of the Yadavs and also how they wasted public money.”

order which stated that inclusion of salary of SSA teachers under NonPlan shall be taken up at an appropriate time as and when CSS of SSA comes to an end. NSSATA said terming the demand as irregular when SSA project lapses cannot justify the laid back attitude of the state government.

Drawing attention to the statement made by state chief secretary Temjen Toy to media persons, NSSATA said it was aware also that the demands would have to undergo some procedural formalities.

It said the procedure was also what had been stated in 2016 when directives were issued to the DoSE for examination.

Based on that assurance, NSSATA said it has been waiting patiently for an outcome and was not demanding “a magic formula to solve our issues.” At the same time, NSSATA said the government’s excuse that it had made some mistake in the appointment

of SSA teachers cannot render the appointment orders defective.

NSSATA also admitted that the agitation was seriously affecting the career of students but explained that when teachers were “physically and morally disturbed” because of their uncertain future, there was no way for them to carry out their duties even if classes were held.

NSSATA also urged the government not to blame agitating teachers alone for hampering the education system and not admitting about discrimination of teachers.

NSSATA has therefore demanded that their demands be fast-tracked to avert any further stir.

NSSATA began its first phase with pen down strike from May 2-10 followed by boycott of classes from May 11 -25 and from June 1-5. NSSATA said the third ongoing phase from June 6 by 2000 members from all districts will continue till the government offers a positive response to the long pending demands.

RBI rate hike boosts key Indian equity indices

MUMBAI, JUN 9 (IANS): The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision to hike the repo rate by 25 basis points boosted the investor sentiments, which in turn lifted the key equity indices during the week ended on Friday.

Weak global cues and depreciation in the rupee, however, weighed on the indices and limited the gains during the week.

The barometer 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex) of the BSE rose by 216.41 points or 0.61 per cent to close at 35,443.67 points on a weekly basis.

The wider Nifty50 of the NSE closed the week’s trade at 10,767.65 points -- up 71.45 points or 0.67 per cent -- from its previous close. “Market sentiments got a boost as RBI retained its neutral policy stance raising hopes that probably there would be no more rate hikes in the near future,” said Rahul Sharma, Senior Research Analyst at Equity99.

Hem Securities’ Director, Prateek Jain said: “This

was a week of two halves for the market. The first saw the market falling in anticipation of a rate hike by the central bank.” “But when the RBI announced a rate hike markets shot up and recovered the losses. In fact, it closed 0.6 per cent higher than the previous week despite a 25 basis points hike announced by the central bank,” he added.

Following a cycle of rate cuts begun in January 2015, the RBI on Wednesday raised its key interest rate for the first time by 25 basis points to 6.25 per cent. “The reverse repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) stands

adjusted to 6 per cent and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate to 6.50 per cent,” the RBI had said.

Rupee meanwhile hit a one month low of 67.54 during the week due to an appreciation of the dollar against all major currency and outflows of funds from India, Jain said.

On Friday, the rupee closed at 67.51 against the US dollar depreciating by 45 paise from its previous week’s close of 67.06 per greenback. In terms of investments, provisional figures from the stock exchanges showed that foreign institutional in-

vestors bought scrips worth Rs 1,367.22 crore, while the domestic institutional investors purchased stocks worth Rs 2,131.56 crore during the week. Figures from the National Securities Depository (NSDL) revealed that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) invested equities worth Rs 3,757.94 crore, or $560.40 million, in the week ended on June 8.

The top weekly Sensex gainers were Sun Pharma (up 9.38 per cent at Rs 528.20); Tata Motors (up 7.96 per cent at Rs 310.05); Tata Motors (DVR) (up 7.96 per cent at Rs 186.20); Tata Steel (up 6.99 per cent at Rs 599.50); and Dr Reddy’s Lab (up 6.26 per cent at Rs 2,062.90 per share).

The major losers were Power Grid (down 3.59 per cent at Rs 198.50); HDFC Bank (down 2.82 per cent at Rs 2,050.10); Larsen and Toubro (down 2.02 per cent at Rs 1,343.60); Adani Ports (down 1.98 per cent at Rs 379.50); and NTPC (down 1.64 per cent at Rs 161.55 per share).

NEW DELHI, JUN 9 (PTI): Union Minister Arun Jaitley today said the amendments to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) will eliminate “fly by night” operators in the real estate sector and ensure timely completion of projects. Earlier this week, President Ram Nath Kovind gave his assent to promulgate the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018, which allows home buyers to be recognised as financial creditors under the insolvency proceedings.

Jaitley said the changes brought about through the Ordinance will help in formalising the real estate sector.

“Sound and structured real estate developers would remain. The ‘fly by night’ operators would be eliminated. Projects would be completed in reasonable time and investors would get their share of allotments expeditiously,” he said in a Facebook post.

He said construction is recording a double-digit growth and real estate regu-

lator RERA and the new ordinance would only catalyse this process further.

The new ordinance equates an ‘allottee’ of a ‘real estate project’ to be a person having a commercial effect of borrowing as he is now treated as financial creditor, Jaitley said.

“He can initiate a corporate insolvency for a resolution against the errant developer. He acquires the right to be on the committee of creditors. He gets voting right. He can influence the resolution process. In the unlikely eventuality of liquidation, he stands at par with other financial creditors,” he added.

Stating that in and around major townships massive real estate projects have been coming up, and many of these are being developed by professional real estate developers.

However, many ‘fly by night’ operators have entered the sector, he said, adding some developers have very little resources of their own.

“They use the homebuyer’s money to develop, invest in land banks and then get caught in a debt trap. The homebuyer is the worst sufferer. He has a triple whammy. He has invested his savings with the developer”.

one area where Nagaland scores much better than other States is the community participation in providing assistance and help to a cancer patient. He, however, added that it takes a huge toll on the finances as everyone in the family and even the community at large is involved.

The other silver lining in recent years is the drop in tobacco prevalence from 57% in 2010 to 43% in 2016, which is a 14% drop. For now though, everyone has the responsibility of educating the youths in Nagaland. Ramesh said knowledge must also translate to attitude and practice and the time to act is now. Nearly 80% of all adult smokers begin smoking before 18 years and 5,500 youths initiate smoking every day in India. Out of 1,000 teenagers smoking today, 500 would eventually die of tobacco-related diseases, 250 in their middle age and 250 in their old age. In other words, one-fourth of those who smoke at an early age will eventually die early.

masalas and other smokeless tobacco products near educational institutions. As such, there are shops selling smokeless tobacco products near schools and colleges.

Where Nagaland goes terribly wrong: Ramesh said the process starts from the house. He rued that students are sent by their parents to buy tobacco. Also, tobacco consumption is looked upon as normal and that it is unintentionally made to appear harmless. It is not scorned upon like in some parts of the country. He added that even teachers consume tobacco.

Stating that knowledge and awareness were important, Ramesh stressed for translating knowledge into attitude and action to bring about a positive change.

He said there needs to be a change in attitude and pressed for implementation of healty practices to curb consumption of tobacco and tobacco products.

Where Nagaland is better than others: Ramesh said

level will go a long way in checking tobacco consumption. He advocated for strong anti-anti tobacco policies in schools.

Loopholes in combating consumption of tobacco: There are various loopholes when it comes to restricting sale and consumption of tobacco in the State. At first, smokeless tobacco products like pan masala, khaini and gutkhas are classified as “food” in Food and Safety Act that makes it legally difficult to take on tobacco companies and restrict sale of tobacco products.

Another area of concern is the poor implementation of Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA), 2003 in spirit. There is a district anti-tobacco squad to check the sale of tobacco products near educational institutions, but it is impossible for them to be everywhere. The role of the police is also limited under COTPA. Only an officer of the rank of sub-inspector and above can check sale of pan

Need for awareness at school level: Tetseo, Jain and Dr Rohan Ramesh from CIHSR were unanimous in their view that awareness about the ill-effects of tobacco consumption and education on oral cancer were of paramount importance at the school level.

Tetseo said awareness and education at the school level under NTCP was the most important activity and the State agencies have also received a positive response from schools in Nagaland.

While Jain also advocated awareness programmes at schools and colleges, he was categorical in his view that the best way to bring down oral cancer in the State was to kick the habit of smoke and smokeless tobacco consumption.

Ramesh said activities are conducted at the community level but, considering the early age of tobacco initiation and the lack of awareness, he said education at the school

These patches can vary in appearance: i) white or grey colour; ii) thick, hard and raised surface; iii) hairy (only in case of hairy Leukoplakia); and iv) patches rarely have red spots. In case of red spots, it may be a sign of cancer.

Tetseo, who is also district nodal officer of NTCP, lamented that most people do not come for routine checkups and many treat the symptoms lightly. They tend to visit the dentist only in case the condition aggravates or there is a serious condition.

Donald Trump to leave G7 early LA MALBAIE (QUEBEC) JUN 9 (AGENCIES): U.S. President Donald Trump planned to leave the summit of the Group of Seven wealthy nations on Saturday before it discussed climate change and the health of oceans, underlining fractures in the G7 exacerbated by U.S. trade tariffs.

The six-plus-one tone of the gathering in Quebec means the leaders from Canada, Britain, the United States, France, Germany Italy and Japan are unlikely to issue a joint statement, too sharply divided on trade or the environment to reach consensus.

Still, a French official said on Friday the United States and European Union will establish a dialogue on trade within the next two weeks, signalling a modest step forward for the bitterly divided allies of the G7.

The two-day summit in Canada has been marred by fears of a trade war and tit-for-tat exchanges of hostile tweets, with U.S. trading partners furious over Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on steel and alumin-

Some countries have retaliated with their own levies on U.S. imports.

While Trump set a combative tone before even arriving at the summit with a series of tweets about unfair trade deals, he appeared affable and joking at multiple brief photo opportunities and praised French President Emmanuel Macron for helping to work out trade issues.

“Something’s going

to happen. I think it will be very positive,” Trump said on Friday, without giving details.

The leaders worked late into the night on Friday at the luxurious and tightly secured riverside hotel where the summit is being held, with the White House tweeting a photo showing the leaders huddled around a coffee table at 11:20 p.m. ET, looking at what appeared to be a draft document marked up with highlighter. German Chancellor Angela Merkel sat between Macron and

Trump on a sofa, while Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sat to the left of the U.S. president.

Trump plans to leave the summit mid-morning on Saturday, four hours earlier than originally planned, to fly to Singapore to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. That means he will miss a working session among the leaders on climate change and clean energy, as well as talks among the G7 and poorer countries focused on the health of oceans.

UNSC elects 5 members for two-year term

U N I T E D NAT I O N S, JUN 9 (AGENCIES): The United Nations General Assembly voted on Friday to elect Germany, Belgium, South Africa, the Dominican Republic and Indonesia for a two-year term in the Security Council starting on Jan. 1, 2019.

The council is the only U.N. body that can make legally binding decisions and has the power to impose sanctions and authorize the use of force.

Indonesia drew more votes than the Maldives in the contested election for one Asia-Pacific seat by 144 to 46, while the other four candidates ran unopposed.

Uncontested candidates still need to win more than twothirds of the overall General Assembly vote to be elected.

There were 190 ballots in Friday’s vote.

Indonesia, the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country, will pursue a global comprehensive approach to combat terrorism, radicalism and extremism during its term, the foreign affairs ministry said in a statement.

Guatemalans bury dead after volcano eruption; nearly 200 missing

EL RODEO (GUATEMALA), JUN 9 (AGENCIES): Stunned Guatemalans near the Fuego volcano on Friday buried relatives and friends killed in its most violent eruption in four decades, after dangerous flows of ash, rocks and toxic gases in the morning prompted panicked locals to evacuate.

At least 109 people were killed by a massive eruption on Sunday that buried villagers in scalding ash, gas, with some dying later in hospital from their burns.

A series of blasts since have spewed more deadly, fastmoving pyroclastic flows down the slopes, but have not caused more casualties since authorities have evacuated most residents.

Nearly 200 people are still missing after Sunday’s blast and many family members assume they are dead.

On Friday afternoon, the Garcia family buried five relatives who died in the eruption that sunk many homes in brown ash.

“I sometimes think that this is like a dream, but this is the reality,” said Concepcion Garcia, a farm worker,

Game of Thrones: HBO Led Zeppelin reunite to work on new book L orders spinoff prequel pilot G ame of Thrones could be getting a prequel series, HBO has announced, one of five potential spinoffs of the series.

Book author George RR Martin created the new series alongside British screenwriter Jane Goldman.

HBO has ordered a pilot episode for the show, set thousands of years before the battles over the Iron Throne.

Executives say any spinoff will not be broadcast until after Game of Thrones’ final season in 2019. If picked up, the prequel will chronicle “the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour”, HBO said in a statement.

“From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East, to the Starks of legend… it’s not the story we think we know.” Jane Goldman, who wrote Kick-

Ass, X-Men: First Class and the Kingsman films, will serve as a showrunner for the as-yet-unnamed show.

Game of Thrones is HBO’s most popular series to date. It has won multiple Emmy awards and drawn tens of millions of viewers worldwide.

The channel has teased what Mr Martin described as “successor shows” in the past, announcing in May 2017 a number of writers who were working on these series. Other than Ms Goldman, they include Max Borenstein, Brian Helgeland, Carly Wray and Bryan Cogman.

Previous reports sug-

gest HBO could be willing to throw more than $50m at each season of these new shows.

But HBO’s programming president Casey Bloys previously told Hollywood Reporter these series would not focus on the current storyline.

“This story, A Song of Fire and Ice, is done,” he said. “There’s no revival, reboot, spinoff talk.”

So what might a prequel series deal with?

Warning: The section below may contain spoilers.

Age of Heroes?

HBO said the series could start in “golden Age

of Heroes”, thousands of years before the events in Game of Thrones.

Don’t expect any of the current crop of characters to show up. But their ancient forebears may well make an appearance.

B r a n t h e B u i l d e r, founder of the House of Stark, was a hero of the time, as well as Lann the Clever, founder of the House of Lannister - two of the central families involved in the Game of Thrones series.

The White Walkers?

The “true origin of the White Walkers” is another plot point HBO teased in their short statement - the blue-eyed humanoids who constitute a major threat in the more recent series of the show. George RR Martin’s books say the creatures were defeated by the Children of the Forest and the First Men millennia before the events depicted in A Song of Ice and Fire - the book that inspired the Game of Thrones television show.

ed Zeppelin have reunited to work on a new book about the band to mark their 50th anniversary. The classic rock group last performed together in 2007 when they headlined London’s The O2 Arena. Jason Bonham filled in for his dad John on drums, who died in 1980.

A new post on Led Zeppelin’s official Twitter account has revealed that, while a live reunion isn’t happening at the moment, a reformation of another kind is. John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page were pictured together, with Plant holding a draft copy of a new book they’ve been working on together.

Led Zeppelin By Led Zeppelin “is the first and only official illustrated book to be produced in collaboration with the members of the band”, according to an official description. It is being produced to celebrate 50 years of the iconic rock group and will feature photographs of Jones, Page, Plant, and Bonham “on and offstage, in candid moments and in the recording studio.” The official description continued to say: “This definitive 400-page

volume includes previously unpublished photos, artwork from the Led Zeppelin archives and contributions from photographers around the world.” Led Zeppelin By Led Zeppelin will be published in October via Reel Art Press. It is available for pre-order now and will cost $69.95 (£52.15).

In February, guitarist Page discussed rumours the band would reunite for an anniversary concert this year. Speaking to Planet Rock, he said: “I very much doubt it. You’ve just got to face facts. We’ve gone past the 10th anniversary of the O2 [show], where we man-

aged to do one serious con- doubt we’ll do anything cert. That’s the only thing else. I really think the time that we’ve done for such a has gone.” long time, so I very much (NME)

KUALA LUMPUR, JUN 9 (IANS): Bangladesh outclassed hosts Malaysia by 70 runs in their final league tie to set their date with six-time champions India in the summit clash of the women’s Asia Cup at the Kinrara Academy Oval here on Sunday.

Earlier on Saturday, India dished out a clinical performance to hammer arch-rivals Pakistan by seven wickets and enter their seventh straight final.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SUNDAY, JUNE 10, 2018

Going in to the final, India will be wary of Bangladesh’s prowess, having lost to them in the league stages and would aim to avenge the humiliation en-route to their seventh consecutive title.

Against the Pakistanis, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side had a rather easy outing barring the tricky chase that saw them lose two wickets with just five runs on the board.

Electing to bat, Paki-

stan folded up for a meagre 72/7 with Sana Mir (20 not out) and Nahida Khan (18) managing to reach the double figures in a lacklustre batting effort.

In response, Harmanpreet (34 not out) and her deputy Smriti Mandhana (38) steered India to a comfortable victory with 23 balls to spare after starting on a shaky note.

Earlier, left-arm spinner Ekta Bisht spun a web around the Pakistanis with

three wickets, and was well assisted by the other Indian bowlers who stuck to a disciplined effort.

During their chase, India got off to a forgettable start, losing former skipper Mithali Raj and Deepti Sharma for ducks with the scoreboard ticking 5/2.

But thereafter the defending champions did not look back as the left-right combo of Smriti and Harmanpreet forged a brilliant 65-run third wicket stand to take the side within sniffing distance of victory.

Later in the day, Bangladesh rode on a collective batting effort to score 130/4 after electing to bat.

In reply, the hosts could manage a paltry 60/9 in their 20 overs.

Brief Scores: Pakistan 72/7 (Sana Mir 20 not out, Nahida Khan 18; Ekta Bisht 3/14) lose to India 75/3 (Smriti Mandhana 38, Harmanpreet Kaur 34 not out) by 7 wickets.

Bangladesh 130/4 (Shamima Sultana 43, Ayasha Rahman 31; Winifred Duraisingam 2/19) beat Malaysia 60/9 (Winifred Duraisingam 17, Mas Elysa 14; Rumana Ahmed 3/8) by 70 runs.

Intercontinental Cup: Chhetri’s India seek crowning glory, Kenya stand in way MUMBAI, JUN 9 (PTI): India will for the umpteenth time look up to the talismanic Sunil Chhetri and a stadium packed to the brim with emotionallycharged fans for inspiration as they face Kenya in the summit showdown of the Intercontinental Cup here on Sunday.

The world’s third leading scorer (active), Chhetri has so far found the back of the net in each of the three games, including a hat-trick against Chinese Taipei and a brace against Kenya.

The tournament is being used by hosts India as a preparatory ground for the AFC Asian Cup, to be held in January next year, and a win in the final will surely boost their confidence going ahead.

India had blanked Kenya 3-0 in the league game at the Mumbai Football Arena, which was skipper Chhetri’s 100th appearance in national colours. And the India captain made the game memorable by scoring a brace.

They will look to replicate the performance of their league game against the African side again in the summit clash, which the organisers have claimed to be a ‘sold out’. The hosts are the side to beat

this tournament as they have throughout played an aggressive brand of football. But the Stephen Constantine coached team cannot take Kenya lightly as they have defeated New Zealand 2-1 and blanked Chinese Taipei 4-0 on Friday night.

Constantine will ensure that his best playing XI will take the field on Sunday after his strategy of making seven changes initially in the game against New Zealand backfired as the team lost 2-1.

For India, all eyes will again be on Chhetri, who has 62 goals to his credit and will look to add to his tally. He and the experienced Jeje Lalpekhlua can pose challenge to any

S AO PAU LO, J U N 9 (IANS): Brazilian tennis legend Maria Bueno, who dominated the women’s game in the late 1950s and for much of the 1960s, has died at the age of 78 after a battle with mouth cancer.

India also boast of an array of decent midfielders like Udanta Singh, Anirudh Thapa, Pranay Halder and Halicharan Narzary.

Simona beats Sloane to win French Open women’s title

Romania’s Simona Halep kisses the trophy at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris, France, Saturday. (AP/PTI)

PARIS, JUN 9 (AGENCIES): For the first time in a young career filled with both success and heartbreak, Simona Halep is a Grand Slam champion.

The 26-year-old world No. 1 defeated American Sloane Stephens in a wild French Open final on Saturday to claim that elusive first major title at the fourth attempt. Moments after the match-winning point, she covered her face with her hands in a combination of disbelief and relief.

“I was dreaming of this moment since I started to play tennis,” she told the crowd minutes later.

The Romanian trailed

one set to love and 2-0 in the second set, but roared back in the second and dominated the third to triumph, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.

From the beginning of the match, the 10th-ranked Stephens was clearly superior on her serve, and offered resistance on Halep’s.

A few unforced errors kept her away from break opportunities. But she got her only one of the first set in the fourth game, and took advantage to go up 3-1.

At 5-3, Halep had an opportunity of her own to return the favor. But an unforced error spoiled her one and only break point.

Stephens went on to win

three straight points, the game and the set.

O u t o f n ow h e r e, though, Stephens responded with a four-point break of her own to get back to 4-3, and eventually 4-4.

But Halep had refound herself. She persevered through a battle to hold serve and go up 5-4.

There was a sense that if Stephens was going to win, she had to do so in two sets.

But at 15-15 in the subsequent game, she missed a golden opportunity for a winner down the line.

Then at 30-30, Halep won two consecutive points to claim the second set.

As feared toward the end of the second set, Halep had asserted herself.

She was now decidedly superior. She won the first three games of the third set, capitalizing on a few unforced errors from Stephens to win a break. The American had lost a touch of both power and focus.

After one error, exasperated, she slapped her thigh in frustration.

Halep then all but clinched the match by winning a few insane rallies and breaking Stephens

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SUNDAY, JUNE 10, 2018

again to go up 4-0. She capped off the fourth game with a wonderful winner at the net.

Almost exactly 12 m o n t h s a g o, S i m o n a Halep was on the brink of her first major title. Same site, same tournament.

She led unseeded Jelena Ostapenko one set to love, and 3-0 in the second set, three games away from her breakthrough. Then she collapsed.

She lost that second set 6-4, then the third 6-3.

She fell in three sets, just as she had to Maria Sharapova in the French Open final three years earlier, and just as she would in the 2018 Australian Open final to Caroline Wozniacki.

Saturday’s major final was the fourth of her career – the third as the higher seed, and the third at Roland Garros. And down a set and two games, she appeared to be on course for more disappointment.

But with that disappointment staring her in the face, she responded as only the sport’s best can, and finally claimed her first major title.

“To all football fans and the greatest football teams on the planet, welcome!”
